Weezzle - a wee wing
Hi People,
Here's the latest design, just had to post it as I just can't stop flying it! Weezzle is a 12" aerobatic wing, as you can see it weights in at 42.72g with battery. It uses 5g brushless from hobbycity.com, 2s 180mAh, 2x toki for elevons and AR6300Rx. Performance is brill, loops, rolls and vertical all possible. But what has amazed me is its ability to fly in a stiff wind where hovering, rolling on the spot and flying backwards are all possible. With 180mAh cells it will fly from 16-20 mins depending on throttle usage. Paul. |

I can agree with all that but as Paul knows it's not for the feint hearted or older folk. He let me fly it in a strong breeze and I thought wisest to hand the Tx back!
Absolute wazzz of a performer though from such a minute package. |
